... saber eh diferente de sentir. Muitas vezes so entendemos as coisas quando sentimos.

Mas, como eu ia dizendo, mais uma despedida. Amanha comeco a jornada ate a India. Transporte ate londres, um aviao ate Dubai e outro ate Delhi. So chego la na sexta-feira a noite.

O clima aqui esta tenso. Muita gente anciosa... nervosa. Eu me incluo ...

... the Folklore Museum of Maihaugen-it is a park of traditional houses and buildings with a museum attached. Very cool. Lots of wonderfully unique buildings. The guide from the museum was fantastic-very interesting and hilariously funny! We then headed to the Olympic arena/ski jump used during the Olympic Games. Got to go up the chairlift and see the great views of Lillehammer and ...

... driver controlled the sled with three of us behind her. The bobsleds reach speeds of 140km/hr and the force is 5G's!!!! (The craziest roller coasters only reach about 2 G's, and at 8 G's a person passes out from the force). So in other words....it was a rush! Since the last time I wrote, I've tried quite a few new foods. I've tried fish in several different forms, never really liking it much but I keep trying it ...

... I know. :) I'm also learning to count and can count to ten and say the alphabet. Slowly but surely! Exciting Food I've already tried some very interesting cuisine since being in Norway. Some of them include: · Geitost- Goat cheese; a very sweet, rich cheese. I actually really like it with jam on bread or on Wasa crackers. · Wild furry animals (I think ...

... for us and our understanding of the so-called ''Norwegian approach to peace''. And yes, I am deliberately not releasing details because I want you to read the article when we're done with it. :o) Okay, that's all I have for you now. Tomorrow we are heading to Elverum to visit the Namibian Association (just for you, Jess!) and a local politican, then back to Oslo for one more night in the Munch Hotel. Vi snakkes!! Med klem fra min kjære Norge, Christy

... where we find a nice "Hutte" (Cabins) overlooking the Geiranger Fjord which we will go on tomorrow. Still Rolf did not think this was enough excitement for the day and after dinner in town he took us on the road/path to the top of the Dalsnibba, 1465 meters high with high walls of snow on either side and an onforgettable view of mountain peaks in snow and fjords ...

... States and NATO bombing Kosovo in 1999. Even though it hurt their people (Albanians), we "bombed the hell out of the Serbs". Their chanting of "U-S-A" was quite uncomfortable, especially for their reasons for doing so. Anyway, they took us to the mall and bought sweaters for themselves, to the Norwegian equivalent of Best Buy called "El-Kjøp" (not Beste Buy!) to look at cameras and laptops, and made us miss our train. At this point, Online-Lover asked ...

... language barriers, we didn't get very far. I loved the drive up. It was beautiful, I saw farms, fields, hay, horses and we even drove over the lake a few times. Lillehammer is about an hour north of Hamar. Christy had an interesting experience on the bus. She sat next to an older Norwegian women who instantly started talking to Christy...in Norweigian. I'm very proud of Christy, she says she went the entire summer without a word of Norwegian and here we are two ...

... wasn't the ski jump but rather the Maihaugen Museum. Nevertheless, one interesting point about this ski jump is how it was constructed. Rather than building one on the slope of the mountain, they blew up part of the slope to form a concave along the slope and constructed the jump so that it flushes with the slope instead of having it jutting out making the scenery and eyesore. You know the drill folks. Take the ski lift up and view Lillehammer from way up and taking ...
